Tired of boring old martinis? Enter the French Martini, the rebel of cocktails. 🍸🇫🇷
Chambord is a raspberry and blackberry liqueur invented by an American named Norton “Sky” Cooper in or around the early 1980s, inspired, he claimed, by a 17th century French recipe for a berry liqueur that was a favorite of Louis XIV himself, and which, as with , it appears there’s no law against just saying stuff like that and hoping no one asks any follow-up questions. Cooper was from Philadelphia but loved France. His father had bought the liqueur maker Charles Jacquin et Cie, Inc.
Revisit the French Martini 25 years later, and the biggest surprise is not just that it’s still delicious, but how versatile of a template the recipe is. You can put Chambord in there, of course, and it’s juicy and fleshy and sumptuous with vanilla, but the combination of vodka and pineapple juice can do a lot more. You can use creme de cassis, for a sharper, more adult French Martini, or you can go rogue and put Aperol in there, or Campari, or Benedictine, or Cynar.
